Just one question - should we uninstall the old version before downloading the new one? </p> <p>A. You don't need uninstall the old version before downloading the new one. But, you should uninstall it before you install the new one. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/1515#post-9424 Tue, 14 Aug 2007 07:50:41 +0000 keriver 9424@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Hi pauloparra,</p> <p>1) The previous version needed a running Windows Service. This Service doesn't exist anymore. Is that normal?<br /> The service still exists, but, in fact, it's only necessary for windows VISTA.</p> <p>2) With the original Keriver we got a number of support files, like an ISO recovery image, Help files, AutoRun.exe, isolinux, etc. Are they still valid? Do we need to get new ones?<br /> Because the Recovery Media Builder is added, so, those files isn't needed. And, by the way, do you think that's better if I still include those file in the package in the future?</p> <p>3) There were Keriver backups files that I can explore now, but couldn't explore before. Are there new options or features we should be aware of?<br /> I don't know why you couldn't EXPLORE before, but now you could, that's fine. -:) </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/1515#post-9421 Tue, 14 Aug 2007 05:15:09 +0000 Face 9421@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Thanks keriver, for your generosity in allowing us to upgrade - It is that kind of attitude, along with your support in following us here in the Forums - that makes all the difference when I go to purchase software. GOTD really lets us get to know which companies value their customers and stand behind ther products and these are the ones I choose to spend my money on.</p> <p>Just one question - should we uninstall the old version before downloading the new one? </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/1515#post-9406 Mon, 13 Aug 2007 01:23:15 +0000 pauloparra 9406@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Hello,</p> <p>Thank you AlexSJ, fellow Mojopac user, for giving me the confidence to try this upgrade. Now I see the purpose of saving all the files from GAOTD. When a serial number is needed, I always save it in the readme.txt file, so all I had to do was to open it to access the serial number. Good deal!</p> <p>The process was very simple. Download the executable from the link that Keriver posted in the first post of this thread. Run it. Reboot. Run Keriver and input the serial number when prompted. That's it!</p> <p>I am aware of the lack of tech support, but I am curious about a few things. </p> <p>1) The previous version needed a running Windows Service. This Service doesn't exist anymore. Is that normal?</p> <p>2) With the original Keriver we got a number of support files, like an ISO recovery image, Help files, AutoRun.exe, isolinux, etc. Are they still valid? Do we need to get new ones?</p> <p>3) There were Keriver backups files that I can explore now, but couldn't explore before. Are there new options or features we should be aware of? </p> <p>It sure looks like this new release of Keriver is a great improvement!</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>-Mario</p> <p>PS: I want to explain, to anyone who cares, the reason why I need to be confident about the upgrade.</p> <p>I have <a href="http://www.mojopac.com">MojoPac</a>, which is very unstable software. Installing a simple program on it may make it unusable, so I back it up before installing <em>any</em> new program which is pretty much everyday. My MojoPac is installed on a 60GB Passport drive which, for some strange reason, came formated with FAT32 file system. </p> <p>If I change the file system to NTFS I lose one of three free installations per license that RingCube allows. This means that I can't use the regular ntbackup directly because all my computer disks use NTFS. I needed a program that was able to backup an entire FAT32 disk and restore it. </p> <p>I tried several, XXcopy, DriveImage XML, Backup4all3, DoubleSafety, ... and it came very clear that Keriver was the best. Easy to use, fast backups, recovery of entire drives that use any file system, explore ability, compresion choices, ...<br /> On top of all that, you guys give free tech support even though we are not entitle to it. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/1515#post-9390 Sat, 11 Aug 2007 18:20:40 +0000 AlexSJ 9390@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Upgrade works fine.

Don't believe me? Every browser sends out information similar to this:<br /> Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.4) Gecko/20070515 Firefox/2.0.0.4<br /> This is on EVERY page request. Sure, some add-ons/extensions and some proxies will remove this data, but it is more useful than detrimental, and it definitely does not uniquely identify you, so why the paranoia about it? In fact, leaving the language detail in there is highly beneficial to anyone who doesn't speak English, as websites can (and will, e.g. Google) switch their pages to the appropriate language (or redirect you to the appropriate page) without you having to figure out where the language toggle is - or register and log-in to do so, which many people would likely not even bother to do.</p> <p>alexiussg, if you're really worried about people getting your IP, you're better off to just unplug. Tor will also go faster, by the way, as you can adjust it. JAP seems to be just a big show plus an on/off switch. Not something I'd trust...<br /> Also, using public proxies not only can get you preemptively banned from somewhere, but are completely useless for logging in anywhere as they can (Yes, even with SSL) easily intercept your data: You're giving it to them. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/1190#post-7913 Wed, 04 Jul 2007 12:45:05 +0000 alexiussg 7913@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>preventing people from getting your IP address- use JAP from Snapfiles.com, its super slow for me but it does what it promise. :) </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/1190#post-7912 Wed, 04 Jul 2007 12:40:02 +0000 BuBBy 7912@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>re: Scary 20+ applications from vista... blah blah meh.</p> <p>Stop the press.
